MelchiorDear Mr. Melchior:Your article concerning WalterJohnson's aldermanic campaign inthe MAROON of February 5 wasa waste of space. Not only did, itgive succor to the enemy, but it didnot contain • one sentence of con¬structive criticism. We suggest thatyou write nothing at ail until youhave something to say. If you thinkthat the campaign has been badlymanaged, why don't you help in¬stead of sitting behind your deskand typing out statements that haveno foundation?Before you offer advice, youmight avail yourself of the facts.You could then hardly call the vig¬orous Mr. Johnson lethargic, or ac¬cuse him of having a "lack of under¬standing of what goes on in theward". Simply because Mr. Johnsonis busy out working in the ward andcan't be found by you at your con¬venience, you have no justificationfor telling him to get off his highhorse. We are sure that a man ofhis calibre has a much deeper under¬standing of the situation than you,and that he is fighting with every¬thing he has in him.Sincerely yours,Chloe RothBetsy Kuh 'Janet WagnerVirginia NicholsMarjorie SullivanLois StromwellPatricia Sommer FordJanet PeacockLibby McKeyHouse Danceinformal dance to celebratelentine's day will be given atational House tomorrow, Sat-Helen Kendrick and the Ca¬ves' Committee are in chargeingements and report that thewill be an informal affair,admission will be $.45 plusefreshments will also be serv- MelchiorAnswersDear Girls:I suppose 1 should be honored bythe attention conferred upon me bysuch an imposing list of importantpeople.

However, the SocialCommittee feels quite confidentthat most of the boys will still behere for the Prom. In the event thata boy already purchased his WashProm bid finds that he will not beon campus for the Ball, the SocialCommittee will glady refund hismoney.The Wash Prom is recognized oncampus as the last big social affairfor the duration. For this reason, ifcilities, the campus ought to takeadvantage of attending the Prom.The Wash Prom Committee hasdecided to set up a date bureau formen who don't have dates. Informa¬tion concerning this service may beobtained at the Box Office in Man-del Corridor. No embarrassingquestions will be asked.Faculty GetsPrivate Pap^rUniversjity authorities have finallyrecogTl’zeJd the fact that their fac¬ulties are also interested in campusdevelopments and would not like tobe informed exclusively by under¬graduates and the downtown press.Th is is the reaction of several fac¬ulty members to the first issue ofthe FACULTY NEWS BULLETIN,issued by the President’s office andbringing resumes of awards, ap¬pointments, faculty in military serv¬ice, and war programs. The mimeo¬graphed BULLETIN was apparentlydesignated for exclusive faculty cir¬culation and a copy got into thehands of a MAROON staff mem¬ber by accident.In former years a similar publica¬tion. the UNIVERSITY RECORD,had appeared, but has been sus¬pended for some time. Last fall thelocal chapter of the American As¬sociation of College Professors ap¬pointed a committee to study fac¬ulty thought on this situation andconsidered a bulletin sheet similarto this one. But this recommenda¬tion never reached President Hutch¬ins, and initiative for the move hasnot come from this source.Reaction to the bulletin amongfaculty members was one of uni¬versal agreemenh. Reliable facultysources hope that this will curbsome of the constant administra¬tion criticism in some faculty circles. The Student War Council, longkept alive by artificial respiration,oxygen tents, and sheer stubborn¬ness of the coroners who refused tosign the death certificate, has fi¬nally gone the way of all flesh, and,like Phoeniz out of the ashes, thererises from the remains a new organ¬ization better, broade' and morebeautiful, which has an born,after a lengthy uteral Bnod, witha satisfactory horoscope and everychance for attainment of its ob¬jectives.The Student War Council, as weremember, stared out as a ultra-colossal roof under which all waractivities on this campus were sup¬posed to thrive and prosper beyondimagination. Of course, no suctithing ever happened. Organizationssuch as Russian War Relief stayedout altogether, and many of the BigPeople appointed to the board ofthe War Council left their names onthe letterheads and their interestselsewhere.War Council PitifulThe only concrete results of theCouncil were a blood bank, runsolely through the efforts of oneperson, *^a,nd, a ^ weak book drivewhich netted not over 300 books.War stamp sales were very dis¬couraging, and soon the organiza¬tion became, to those who thoughtabout it, an object of either pity orridicule.BuU now a new wind seems toWheres Danny?D A Wants Him"Somewhere in this b i g campusthere must be a 'Danny' ", is theprayer of the DA board as castingfor "Night Must Fall" draws to aclose.DA's next play, "Night MustFall" is scheduled for early March.Casting is almost complete, *but theactor for the male lead of 'Danny'has not yet been chosen.

Thus, every man who thinksthat perhaps he is a potential 'Dan¬ny' is urged to come to the Rey¬nolds Club Theater, Monday at 4:30for tryouts. blow. Hard-to-see Joe Schwab,faculty great-uncle of the organiza¬tion, was approached by a group ofinterested students, composed part¬ly of former members of the SWC,and the group at once set activelyto work.New Group MenlessIt was decided that the WarCouncil just would not do; andplans were set up for a new organ¬ization with less ch-^st-pounding anda better chance for success. Thenew group, to be known as the WarActivities Committee, will be underthe sponsorship of the Dean of Stu¬dents. Its board will be composedof members of both the studentbody and the.faculty, but no menundergraduates have been invitedas this program Is set up in such amanner as to last for the duration.This board will serve only in anexecutive capacity, since actualhandling of the programs will bedone by subcommittees. Thus therewill be no more such things as "over¬work" and concentration of power.Four-point PlanFour definite programs are nowbeing formulated. These are theelaboration of the blood donordrive, a book campaign waged in¬tensively in the neighborhood, socialactivities for the service men oncampus, and a new plan to raisemoney for war activities.The blood donor drive shall beintensified. Although the work doneby Carolyn Friedman on this hasbeen exemplary, the program couldbe extended. It is also contem¬plated to bring the blood bank fromdowntown to Billings Hospital and,if possible, to have the blood col¬lected by the drive set aside for theCivilian Emergency Bank there.The book campaign which hasbeen held so far has been most dis¬appointing, and it is believed thatthe 300 figure cannot be far ex¬ceeded by student contributions. Itis therefore contemplated to solicitbooks from the faculty, and planscall for visits to all faculty homes tobe preceded by letters explainingthe need for books.Service Men BenefitDances, socials, mixers, and sim¬ilar affairs for service men will beheld under the auspices of the WarActivities Committee through suchexisting organizations as the YW-(Continued on page six)V.Page TwoCommon Man MustNot Have CenturyNow the liberals are rallyingaround the "Century of the Com¬mon Man." Not a bad catch-phraseas liberal catch-phrases go. But thisnation is going to be in an excellentposition to dictate the terms of thepost-war world. So a realistic anal¬ysis of the chances for any suchcentury is in order.First let's talk about the CommonMan. I don't want any century forJoe Jones and Mary Smith. By whatright do they deserve a hundredyears? The being who attends hismovies and reads his roto section,where the people drink, dance andcrack wise and wear the latestDache hat. The being who then issure that this is man's ultimate goal,to live a life of leisure while look¬ing oh, so romantic, and dashing ,and chic.However sordid his life may ac¬tually be, he will worship his Godand his movip stars. There is no re¬finement in this creature, and hisappreciation seldom extends be¬yond the beauty of a full stomachNo American MassHe is unpleasant because he did¬n’t have the chance to better him¬self? When he's the workman heaccuses the foreman of being aslave-driving so-and-so. Then he be¬comes foreman and is a slave-driv¬ing etc. The Common Man in thiscountry means no trampled on mass.Our American mass is small. Thefarmer's no laborer, he's a capitalist(he says). And did you observe howthe worker fought for his leaders onelection day?The Common Man is petty, rathersordid, and narrow-minded. NOThis century.The leftist places his faith in thefact that the mass can be led. Heforgets that that very phrase is anadmission of weakness. For everytime in history that the liberals ledthe mass there is as important atime when the arch-reactionaires change, commoner, his mind unableto envision change, supports theright. And the reactionary realis¬tically fights with petty ideas forpetty people.THE REACTIONARY ‘fIGHTSFOR WHAT HE IS. Scare is the ad¬vocate of the C.M.’s century who isa real commoner and not a student,intellectual, or politician. And theyregardless of their origin are reallyalienated from the mass.Never forget the strongest weap¬on of the reactionary. "Give thepeople enough to keep them satis¬fied." For like a beast, a peoplelulled into a sense of security neverturn on their keeper.Culture Must RegressOur culture cannot afford a cent¬ury of the Commoner. Perhaps theclearest indicator of the decay ofany culture has been the collapse ofthat culture's ethical norm. Historywitnessed such a collapse in Greece,in Rome, and in the Italy of theRenaissance. Auden and others havepointed to the adoption of an amor¬al behavior pattern by our society.To stop this process of decay wecannot continue on the road wehave been taking to greater free¬dom for everyone. A few years agoIsherwood coined the famous Fron¬tier analogy. He said that we havereached a frontier where to con¬tinue we must change trains. Whathe did not understand was that wemust take the train back. We musthave a return to the old theories ofpolitics, of ethics if we are to repairthe health of our society.

As I remem¬ber it, there were a lot of things leftunsaid. Our problem this week willbe to discuss why it Is this campusneeds a newspaper, and, if that canbe successfully shown, in what waysthe CHICAGO MAROON canbecome that newspaper.It is practically plagiarism to saythat this is a polygot campus. Butit Is true. There are, true enough, afew cohesive forces. We are to alimited extent patriots of an educa¬tional system. We have a sort ofintellectual atmosphere (also limit¬ed). The bothersome fact is thatthese forces do not hold over theentire student body. They are, infact, sometimes attributable only tocertain members of the graduatebody, a few alumni, and membersof the University community gen¬erally. Our Intellectual atmosphere,in so far as it is fairly genuine, andour devotion to liberal education is,in most cases, quite distinct from theattitudes of the undergraduatebody. I sometimes wonder whetherthe undergraduate body has anyattitudes at all.Last Friday I talked with two fair¬ly representative members of thatundergraduate body. I deliberatelysteered the discussions into localpolitics and the world problem as awhole. I found one student com¬pletely bored with such a discussion,in fact, amused at my seriousness.The other had some clear ideas tooffer but needs to be pressed intoexpressing them, let alone taking ac¬tion upon them.There is no need to point out thesignificance or the importance ofpolitical, economic, and social prob¬lems with which the world is faced.We have been lulled into apathytoward these problems by the con¬stant repetition that they are im¬portant. (I challenge each one whois tempted now to turn to anothercolumn to examine himself and seewhether he ought not to give more thought to what I say.)The students of America have notbeen given the right of Influenceover the more significant politicaldecisions. This is partly due to thefact that they have not cried outfor such a right. They have been ex¬ploited by capital. They have beenconsistently told that they are inschool in order that they may learnto earn more than their uneducatedneighbors.But this is not the attitude wepurport here toward education. Wehave mumbo-jumboed "CrescatSclentia Vita Excolatur" ■ until weforget its significance. Many of usdo not even know the literal mean¬ing of the phrase. I'm not going torepeat it here, that's something foryou to find out and consider.But if our idea In being here ismore than a simple mechanicaltraining of the mind to the higherwage scale, what shall we do toreach beyond that? We are offereda broad, general education" byThe College, but The College, right¬ly enough, does not offer directsolutions to the problems it presents.It is left to the student whether hewill pursue understanding, once hav¬ing obtained knowledge.That is one reason for having ac¬tivities. Our student groups ariseout of a particular need for discus¬sion or action that is not satisfied inthe classroom. There are some ofus who are too busy getting an edu¬cation to go to class. But their num¬ber is woefully in the minority. Youwill agree that almost all of ourclass cuts are due to laziness or in¬difference rather than the feelingthat some other educational pursuitis more vital than the class Itself.But we have been given freedom ofattendance to the latter, not theformer purpose.But we do have activities that areimportant enough to demand someamount of laxity In class attendance.Social activities, dramatics, pub¬lications, religious groups, all havean Important place in the lives of afew students. And those who prefernot to spare the time for activeparticipation can obtain some ofthe activity value through passiveparticipation.SALERENTAL BOOKSj50c eachBye: Principles of EconomicsForman: Rise of American Commerce and IndustryHill: Readings in Vocational LifeMitchell: Preface to Economics\at the Rental LibraryThe U. of C.

This be¬comes more and more apparent tothe student as each day bringsmore soldiers and sailors to theschool to be trained and as thefacilities of the University are grad¬ually taken over by one branch ofthe service or another.What may not be so apparent isthe extent of this transformation.Coming to be accepted as common¬place, are the drilling meteorolo¬gists and signal corps men, incon¬venience in housing, and limitedclassroom and office space; butthese are only the outward mani¬festations of the inroads made bythe government into the life on cam¬pus.The quiet of the University li¬braries does not suggest war activ¬ity; however, the libraries have goneto war. We have, here at Chicago,the fourth largest university libraryin the country. It had been grow¬ing to such an extent in recent yearsthat plans were being laid beforethe war for an expansion of Harperlibrary to relieve the critical short¬age of space. War interfered, how¬ever, and those plans have been putaside for the duration, to be realizedwhen conditions again permit. Forthe important present, the shortagestill exists; the College library hasgiven ground to the armed forcesand has moved to Harper, aggra¬vating the situation there; the Mu¬sic library, also feeling the pressure,has divided itself between Classicsand Goodspeed. The purchase ofbooks by the libraries has been cutdown, due to the difficulty in ob¬taining domestic books and the im¬possibility in obtaining Europeanbooks. This loss has been offset to acertain extent with increased pur¬chasing from North and SouthAmerica and England. These arethe sacrifices the libraries havemade; the contributions that arebeing made are more important.Like any vital war activity, the fullstory of the library's service to Un¬de Sam cannot be told for reasonsof security. The natures of two ofthe aspects of service, however, isno secret, and they provide an in¬dication of how important war hasbecome to this university.The May library, located in Ros-enwald Hall, was Instituted severalyears ago with the help of an initialgrant of $100,000 from the Rocke-feler Foundation. On this fund, 26,705 maps, atlases and aerial mosiacswere collected which provided thebase on which has grown the presentlibrary of 128,000 sheets. This li¬brary, with one exception, is nowthe largest map library outsideWashington. It has proven itself ofsuch importance to the War De¬partment that a campaign has beenundertaken to raise funds for theerection of a combination Map li¬ brary and Geography building tobe located next to Walker Museum.When the meteorologists movedto the campus, they needed books,records, pamphlets and other tech¬nical materials which were unavail¬able at any of the existing libraries.To meet this need, the Meteorologylibrary was opened with a half doz¬en books and the third floor of Ry-erson.

Support GrowsFor Kruegerby David SmothersAs the independent campa'gn ofMaynard Krueger goes Into it's thirdweek of Intensive activity, the twostrongly marked sections of the 6thwadr have split neatly into halves.West of Cottage Grove the ne¬groes have as far as can be gauged,declared themselves solidly forKrueger. Old Republican precincts,formerly workers for incumbent Pat¬rick Sheridan Smith, have reversedtheir guns and now operate forKrueger. In a series of large effec¬tive meetings in that area the Krue¬ger organization at this time in com¬pleting the sewing up of the westhalf of the 6th ward.East of Cottage Grove Mr. Krue¬ger has made less, though appreci¬able progress. In the white areas.Although it is difficult in any cam¬paign to gauge at this time wherethe public opinion lies, his head¬quarters report an extraordinarydeclaration of support from the firstcanvasses. Despite the efforts ofSmith's machine to disparage Mr.Krueger's progress as described inlast week's MAROON, the inde¬pendent can hope for somethingmore than a fifty-fifty chance inthat district.On the other hand, as Kruegerprogresses, the Republican incum¬ bent Patrick Sheridan Smith is fight¬ing back in the fine old tradition ofChicago machine politics. His plat¬form is his record, and his record isone of happy cooperation with theCity Hall. From such a vantagepoint he can base his campaign onthe forceful statement "The Univer¬sity of Chicago is a Communist or¬ganization. Mr. Krueger works torthe University of Chicago. ThereforMr. Krueger Is a Communist." Hespends the greater portion of hismeetings expressing wide-eyed as¬tonishment at how any such menacet6 the purity of American politicscan gain the slightest support In op¬position to Mr. Smith.In a case such as this, though,finesse Is required. Smith demon¬strates his airy touch by drivingthrough the Negro section on Krue¬ger's broadcasting nights in a blar¬ ing sound car trying to drown himout. He has trucks going over thegrounds appropri^fing any opposi¬tion campaign literature and put¬ting it where it will do the leastgood. For a clincher Patrick Smithcalled his brother Tom Smith downfrom Minneapolis and gave him astrategic job in the printing officenow working on the campaign bal¬lots.In the face of such direct meth¬ods Mr. Krueger's headquartershave sent ou appeals not only tothe University but to other institu¬tions for an overflow of poll watch¬ers. The latest additions were 100volunteers from Wilson Junior Col¬lege who came down on Wednes¬day night tor instruction. At thesame time, he is hitting a scheduleof from three to five meetings ev¬ery night at hourly Intervals, speak¬ing at each one.^ ^ *TUAr<mmi mi mil$mjiirmowm AND A COCA...JUSTim HOME COLA“You always enjoy it when you connectwith a Coke no matter where.

With a definite shortagenow existing, at least 55,000 studentsmust begin their nursing education thisyear, if graduate nurses are to be re¬leased for army duty without loweringcivilian health standards.The usefulness of the nursing profes¬sion in a war-stricken world will not ceaseafter Victory is won.

Ida Noyes, and the Clubs. Itis not intended, however, to makethese affairs in any way exclusive,as the sailors at Bartlett and Sunnyshall be entertained just as well asthe Meteorology ensigns.Possibly the most revolutionary ofthe activities the new council isplanning is their plan for raising warfunds on the campus. The presentmethod—having a girl stand inMandel Corridor and drool. "WarStamps, War Stamps!"—is not ef¬fective, and not economically in ac¬cord with the War Savings Program.Mr. Schwab and his committee feelthat money used to buy thesestamps is only an additional allow¬ance from tjpe students' parents,and as such has no anti-inflationarysignificance here.Coffee Shop TaxIt is thought that the spirit of theWar Savings Plan will be moreclosely approximated as well as pro¬ceeds greatly enhanced if, insteadof the present plan, a 10% WarStamp Addition be made to foodchecks in the Coffee Shop, for ex¬ample: money from these proceedsto be used to buy Bonds in the nameof the University, possibly to estab¬lish a scholarship fund in later years.It is felt that this plan would be fair as well as workable, inasmuch asthose who frequent the Coffee Shopgenerally can afford the small addi¬tion, and checks there seldom runover $.20. Lunch checks may be ex¬cluded from this tax if it goes intoeffect.The new board will go Into actionprobably next week, and such peo¬ple as the bursar and the managerof the C-Shop, as well as heads ofsuch organizations as the Y etc. willbe approached soon.Westminster MeetsThe Westminster (Presbyterian)Club will meet for dinner Wednes-»day evening in the private diningroom at Hutchinson Commons.Hillel Social MeetingBecause of the success of its so¬cial meeting Tuesday afternoon, Hil¬lel has decided to make this a regu¬lar weekly affair.
